Suggestions Building GAMING PC

Open to any and all suddestions for building my own gaming PC. Not looking to spend alienware type$$, just enough for a high power end PC. Intel fan!

Update: Intel core 2 duo 2.66 gigz,EVGA GTX8800 Nvidia 768MB SLI not try to spend more then 600$ on a video card. Looking for suggestions on SLI memory and a nice case, preferably water cooled with or seperate PSU. Also for Monitor, sound card, HDD and anything else. Thanks

Estimate no more than $2000 excluding graphics card and mobo which prob going to be a G.

For example, I got myself a GeForce 7900GS because I play games only at 1280x720 (not any higher), so I didn't really see a point wasting money on faster graphics cards. Of course they could run my games some frames per second faster than this, but I wouldn't see the difference anyhow.

I hear you. The actual FPS lol (not first person shooter) is related to your screen display resolution *1280x720* and the refresh rate your monitor is set @ 60hz etc. Depending on all of that determines your preference. Myself, really do not dispute this of monitors but dual monitors sounds lovely since I have not began to play any PC games oline seriously enough. Cant believe everything you hear but a tech specialist who has his C+ certifications relates that the human eye cannot tell the exact difference in FPS, that it is limited but anywayz, Dual monitor suggestions with no ridiculous price
